Printed UHF antenna for satellite communication

Abstract

In our contemporary world satellite technology is one of the biggest invention for human being. There are thousands of satellite orbiting in the space now-a-days. Most of them are commercial satellite which have a large operational goal. But in recent years a new type of satellite is getting popular which is known as nano satellite or cube satellite. The reason behind this type of satellite is getting admired because it is cost efficient, light weight and focused in limited mission goal. Large satellite has different types of mission goal in one single satellite. But now multiple mission goals are being cut down in small goals and for achieving those small goals nano satellites are the perfect choice. For the nano satellite operation communication through the antenna is one of the major issue for successful mission. In this following research paper we have proposed a microstrip patch antenna with UHF band for nano satellite operations. For miniaturization of antenna in mm unit coaxial probe has been used. Experiment with different types of patch width, ground, feed point gives our design perfection. By comparing our design with pervious related works we get to know about the uniqueness of our design.
